A guy apparently paid $4200 just for instructions on how to get to Moldova on an inflatable mattress
 First 20 seconds of Warleaks  ?? Ukraine War Update - Russia Captures Leopard 2 • MRAP Cope Cage Overkill • HIMARS Back In Town Full Story Ukraine says it caught a man trying to escape the country by paddling on an inflatable mattress to Moldova Ukraine's border service said on Wednesday that it caught a man attempting to cross into Moldova by "swimming" on an inflatable mattress in the Dniester River. The State Border Service released footage of the 39-year-old man lying on his stomach atop the mattress and paddling through the water with his arms. He was fully clothed, wearing a hoodie, long pants, and a pair of sneakers while carrying a backpack. Law enforcement agents spotted him with a drone, then reached the man by boat and detained him, the border service said in a statement. Border officials said the unnamed Dnipro resident had contacted a person on a messaging app who coordinated his attempted crossing for about $4,200. The border service said the money was for instructions on using the mattress and how to store a mobile phone and spare clothes. The man had already paid half of the money in advance, authorities added. |

For just $5000 more, he could have bought my instructions that included a small trolling motor.

Nobody wants to be the one that dies the day before the peace agreement. The early patriotism of kicking Russia completely out days are gone.

He's not the first to try this, but the craziest part of this story for me is that he paid someone thousands of dollars for them to send them instructions telling him "buy an air mattress, dress warm, bring extra clothes"

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Hill_monkey: Why would he be escaping if they are winning? Ukraine wins by not losing. This is day 793 of the special two day operation, which Putin can stop at any time by just going home. It is deeply concerning that this man could fall victim to Russian propaganda despite being handed a once in a lifetime opportunity to cripple a long time foe of the US, and help France and the UK teach Russia that imperialism will not be tolerated, without any loss of life in the west. If this can happen to Ukrainians, the very target of Putin's vicious attack on democracy, then it can happen to all of us. This is why everyone is calling for more safeguards against disinformation on social media.

I would think that $4200 in the right hands would be enough to buy a medical waiver.

Was being sarcastic but it is pretty sick that they know Ukraine won't "win" the war, the billions are just to maximize the amount of theft and victims at this point The western leaders behind this would see the classic trolley ethics dillema, and advocate for packing as many people on the tracks as possible to slow down the trolley |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By -Abyss-: I would think that $4200 in the right hands would be enough to buy a medical waiver. It was a couple years ago but right now Ukraine is really hurting for men. All the Western tech provided may not help Ukraine if they can't get warm bodies to the front A big topic of discussion right now in Ukraine is a new law which just passed essentially denying consular services for draft dodgers abroad IE better hope your passport isn't about to expire It's incredibly unpopular domestically but as an outsider I think it seems pretty reasonable to me. https://www.yahoo.com/news/restrictions-consular-services-ukrainians-germany-221700293.html On April 23, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba confirmed military-age male Ukrainian citizens abroad will no longer be able to obtain or renew passports and travel documents abroad, unless they intend to return to Ukraine. The move is aimed at broadening the pool of potential military recruits, given Kyiv’s urgent need for additional manpower. On April 24, Ukraine’s parliamentary National Security and Intelligence Committee announced it intends to summon Foreign Ministry officials to explain the legal basis for these restrictions. |
